' Be it known that'LQCHARLI-Js citizenl'of the United States, and resident of I 'Passaic, in the county of Passaicj and State of.New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soldering Machines, of which the followingiisa specificw tion.; w I Y My invention relates -.to improvements in- 10.. ineans for soldering articlestogether, and in ."the" articular embodiment of'my invention herein set forth I provide a machine adaptg ed to solder threaded :caps'to the sides of spouts' adapted tobe attached to containers,

5 suchastincans. I I An object of my invention is to provide? means toautomatically solder articles to-I gctherwhile they progress. through the machine, so that the feeding of the articles to the solderin devices may be continuous. In the form 'ifiustrated the soldering devices travel with the articles to be soldered for a suitable distance and then return to. an initial position and a ain travel; with otherarticles to besoldere and so on continuouiky. 1 v y' invention comprises novel details of. improvement and combinations of arts that. will be more fully hereinafter set orth and then pointed out in the claims. v I

continuously propelling the conveyor. .The

conveyor is. provided with receivers 10, se-- cured to corresponding chain links, ada ted to .support'the articles to be soldered, w ich I receivers are shown adaptedto slide upon a guide rail 11 supported upon the frame top '1 In. the example illustrated. caps A are to besoldered to the sides of spouts B. The receivers are. shown provided With projections 10*"to receive-and retain the caps A, and the receivers are also shown provided 31 with seats or erecesses 10",-10 respectively adapted to receive the tips of the spouts and 1 the threaded heads or caps B, thereof, (Figs.
